Ditched the AFM, but...

not sure if the car was running way rich/lean since it just stumble like hitting a breakwall at around 5000rpm. I had the plunger pushed in all the way to simulate a 4 volt signal to the stock ecu(pending an aftermarket ems). It ran kinda good from 3-5k but felt on its knees after that. I'm running 550cc injectors for the 2ndaries on my NA so it shouldn't be leaning out right?

what the hell man? If your running 550's w/ a stock ecu your asking for trouble right there I would say. BTW how the **** can your ecu operate w/out an afm. Do you have an aftermarket ecu or what? If you dont, hook the afm back up right now thats the most important signal for the ecu for gods sake!

what the hell are you thinking? YOU NEED THE AFM!!! How the hell is the ECU suppose to know how much air is running in? And how is your 7 even running? Are you forcing it by gasing it?!!!

Wow you guys are so foolish to think I'm running like this from now on. Any 3 cylinder Yugo or metro woulda kick my *** by now. Think before you guys write up any stupid remark like that. The afm was put back on 2 minutes after the failed test run at high rpm. Why don't you guys ask before assuming(like making an *** out of yourselves.)

1st off, if you don't know, don't make it sound like you do. I put gsl-se 620cc injectors in my friends NA and he ran a 15 flat. I never took out the connector from the afm; I have the afm in the car so I can slide the plunger myself. It's an S5!

Ok noob. You need the AFM, it's part of the fuel control system.

Everyone is calling you a moron, because you are. You're taking things off of the car that you don't know what their function is. If you want to get rid of the AFM you need a stand-alone ECU w/ RPM spacific settings for the fuel.

You know, you can save a lot of weight by removing your alternator. I bet the rotating assembly weighs a lot too...

ebay7, why are you getting so upset, youre the genius who thinks running without an afm is okay, or using your hand? what do you do, steer with one hand, shift with the other and push down the plunger with your tongue?

Man some of you guys only read 2% of what I wrote. For the last time, this was just a TEST(in 1st gear only). I know about the goddam ems(the e6k, wolf,etc), and that's why I said "pending the ems" cuz I wanna to see how restrictive the afm was at high rpm before I throw down over $1000. During the test, the ecu was always getting a 4v signal. So I EXPECETED it to run shitty from 1-5krpm because it wanna see lower voltages. After that range, any car with the afm in place should see 4v signal when you floor it in 1st.

I shoulda listened to mazdatrix and pineapple racing, some of you guys are just plain....

During the test, the ecu was always getting a rich voltage signal(veered on safety) and then 4volts towards the upper end of the rev band. So I EXPECTED it to run shitty from 1-5krpm because it wanna see lower voltages. After that range, any car with the afm in place should see 4v signal when you floor it in 1st. Get a voltage meter and check it out yourselfs when you floor in 1st!

I think everyone was just a little quick to judge you, at first glance this thread was alot like the " I wired the flapper on my AFM open, and cranked my SAFC" You have to take it easy though. People say alot of stupid **** on this forum (like most forums) don't get upset about it, just learn to ignore it.

People always ask about that. I like Lynard Skynard and found that pic, I used to have a retarted turtle for an avatar. I'm not sure which one got me less respect. I am looking for a new one but am yet to find anything.

Ive been against flaming this post in the first place but the way you did post the thread as ditched the AFM did lead people to assumptions

if you wanted answers just ask evilaviator he knows it all about ems and could tell you all about the huge gains you get from getting rid of that damn MAF....

Heh, you should think about what you are doing, I found this humerous as well. If you think about it hard enough, removing the AFM itself would effect the airflow.

Woah man dont gotta freak out! I hate it how people get so into this forum posting ****. You did sound like a dipshit in your first post, and no you still shouldnt run bigger injectors w/ a stock computer (you can though). Whatever dude, just keep doin what your doing, if somethin bad happens to your car then its your prob. Yeah, who the hell did rate this pos thread??

I love it when people ask a question and expect answers, then after they didn't get what they want they just start ripping people. Ever hear the saying that you get more flies with honey than you do with ****?

Also in your first post you mention nothing of a "test", are we supposed to read your ******* mind?

Yeah and neither should you make ******* assumptions. Just ask yourself this question, why the **** would I wanna keep it in ditched mode for more than 2 minutes after hitting a breakwall over 5krpm. I BOUGHT an S5 for its 8krpm redline, not 5 understand?. I bet most of you guys score a fucked-up 20 on the verbal SAT. Ask yourselves this question, how many competent doctors ever make assumptions.
Yeah sorry for not making it obvious, but that's no excuse for this kinda bullshit.

And for the last time, the ecu was getting more than enough rich signal from the plunger pushed all the way in. I just wanna simulate high rpm runs in 1st gear only and obviously the motor sucked in more air than thru the afm, causing it to stumble even with it running on 550 injectors. Obviously most of you are useless or you wouldn't be making idiotic assumptions.

One more point, if you can't answer that original post, stay the **** of MY Thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually, this is a THREAD, we are not in your 'posts'. Secondly, this is an open forum, we can post wherever we like. Third, did you just move the AFM to the side and leave the inlet open?

What "post", my last edit time beat you to it. Typing fast in pissed off mode gets it all fucked up sometimes.
No I ran a makeshift filter, thanks for asking.
